786 CORRECTIONS OF VIEWS IN PART I.
Lycos joined the Maeander. He seems here to indicate that Kapros and
Lycos, two streams, join the Maeander in a common channel, forming
together a large stream, which is called Lycos and on which Laodiceia
is situated \ Now that is the actual fact. There are two important
streams, Tchuruk-Su and Geuk-Bunar-Su; both are so important, that
each has some claim to be called the main river; and the name Lyko-
kapros used in a late document perhaps points to this union of two equally
important streams in a river ~. The union of Lycos and Kapros,
Tchuruk-Su and Geuk-Bunar-Su, forms the river which gives its name
to Laodiceia. Geuk-Bunar-Su then must be the Kapros.
If this be so, the Kadmos must be, not Geuk-Bunar-Su, but one of the
other streams which flow out of Mt. Kadmos ; and if a Duden could be
found on one of them, the case would be complete. At present, however,
the fact that a Duden is known only on Geuk-Bunar-Su supports the
view taken in pp. 35 f; and this piece of evidence formerly seemed to
me so strong that I wrongly took the case as proved, and never devoted
any time to thorough exploration of the valley, considering its topo-
graphy to be settled. In fact there are many districts of Phrygia,
which I know much better than the Lycos valley, though I have passed
across the valley no less than 14 times. Kiepert distinguishes Geuk-
Bunar-Su from the long Tchuruk-Keui-Su ; but I believe they are the
same stream (Kapros).
Further, on the view to which Pliny has guided us, the coin described
on p. 35 would indicate merely that Lycos and Kapros were the two
chief rivers of the Laodicean territory, and not that they bounded the
state on two sides. The Eleinos, p. 36, would be a stream near the
Kapros; and the stone on which the Khoros'of the Eleinokapritai is
mentioned stands between Geuk-Bunar-Su and Colossai (though it is
certainly not in its original position).
